PR90575
LONDON, July 13, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Funds raised via the online auction of Sunrise Red[TM] NFT Collection will be
used by ASICS to support emerging digital artist talent
Today ASICS is announcing the ASICS SUNRISE RED[TM] NFT COLLECTION – a
first-of-its-kind footwear release that will be available via digital auction
starting on July 15th 2021.
The 189-piece ASICS SUNRISE RED[TM] NFT COLLECTION consists of nine different
ASICS digital footwear products – including the GEL-LYTE[TM] III, GEL-QUANTUM
360[TM], METARACER[TM] models and even a pair of ASICS flip-flops and sandals.
The nine shoes will be featured in a Limited Edition release made up of 20 NFTs
per shoe, and a Gold Edition release featuring each shoe in a metallic gold
colorway with just one NFT per shoe.
The launch of the ASICS SUNRISE RED[TM] NFT COLLECTION signals the start of a
landmark new venture for ASICS as it moves into the world of NFTs. Auction
proceeds will be reinvested back into the digital arts community through ASICS'
new Digital Goods Artist-In-Residence Program, which will see the brand
collaborate with both established and emerging digital artists to design the
next wave of NFTs.
In providing these artists with a platform to showcase their talent on a global
stage, ASICS will invite them to draw on their own sense of creativity and
artistry to create digital products that bring to life ASICS' 'Sound Mind,
Sound Body' philosophy in the digital space.
Joe Pace, Head of Business Development, ASICS Running Apps, commented: "At
ASICS we strive to be at the forefront of innovation in the sporting goods
sector. So, while we are excited to drop the world's first digital shoe release
from a major sporting goods company, this is only the beginning. In coming
together with some of the most creative and forward-thinking digital artists in
the world through our new Artist-in-Residence program, our long-term vision is
to push the boundaries of digital goods to inspire physical activity."
All ASICS SUNRISE RED[TM] NFT COLLECTION owners will receive digital 3D models
and textures of their NFT shoes to use in animation projects and other
applications, including the Metaverse. All owners of the Gold Edition shoes and
the #1 of 20 from the Limited Edition release will also be gifted a future NFT
from designers selected for the Artist-in-Residence program.
The auction will be held on OpenSea.io, starting at 12pm ET on Thursday July
15th and ending at 12pm ET on July 19th 2021. For more information, visit
